Ovulation is a phase in your menstrual cycle when your ovary releases an egg. The egg travels down your fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm. This can start a pregnancy. On average, this happens on day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle (remember that day 1 is the first day of your period).

This is what happens:

-You have multiple follicles in each ovary. Every month, the follicles each start to grow an egg. During days 10 to 14 of your cycle, one of the follicles develops one fully mature egg — this becomes the dominant follicle.

-Around day 14 of your cycle, a sudden surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) causes the ovary to release this mature egg. This is ovulation.

-After you ovulate, hormones rise to prepare your uterus for a possible pregnancy.

It takes only a few seconds for your ovary to release the egg. An egg survives about 12 to 24 hours after ovulation before your body reabsorbs it. But signs and symptoms can happen for days before you ovulate.
